Cat adopted after 8 years at shelter

 A happy ending for this little kitty

 

Duchess, who resembled a long-hair tabby with her bits of orange and white fur, was left behind in an apartment when her owners moved away; a neighbor brought her to the shelter. She was about 4 years old when she arrived and 12 at the time of her adoption.

 

Part of the reason prospective owners shunned Duchess was the fact she had only one eye, the result of a severe infection that could not be adequately treated without removing the eye.

 

Then one day a lady who had just lost her cat came in here, took one look at her and fell in love.

A great happy ending - and a good reminder that there are many "less than perfect" loving animals waiting at shelters for their forever homes.
